4th edition of Polyurethanex was a success for organizers, by no means. Our company took part in this show for the first time as an exhibitor and in spite of size of the event; we met a considerable quantity of professionals who visited the show. It is also defined by the good program of the Seminar being held within the Polyurethanex 2012. However, the event has been growing in number and quality of exhibitors and visitors every year, and we are especially happy about it against the background of recently ineffectual large-scale industrial trade shows. Especially I’d like to mention a clear and simple move-in & move-out procedures of product samples.

The majority of the exponents showed the intention to take part in the 4th International Specialized Exhibition Polyurethanex - 2013 next year. It’s planned to be held in February 26 - 28, 2013 in Crocus-Expo, Moscow.
